A beggar, carrying a shabby(破旧的) old wallet, was begging alone from house to house. As he complained about his 1 , he kept wondering that people who lived in 2 houses should always be unsatisfied, 3 rich they might be, and they should go so far as to 4 all they have.
"Here, for example," he said, the former master of this house succeeded in trading, and made himself very rich. By then, instead of stopping, and handing over his 5 to another, and spending the rest of his years 6 peace, he took to(从事) equipping ships. He expected to get mountains of gold; but the ships were 7 , and his treasures were lost. Now they all lie at the bottom of the sea, and he has found his 8 disappeared like those in dreams. In short, examples of this are 9.
At this moment Fortune suddenly appeared to the beggar and said, "Listen! I have long wished to 10 you. Here are a lot of gold coins I have found. Hold out your wallet, and I will fill it with them; but only on this condition: All shall be gold that falls into the wallet, but if 11 of them falls out of the wallet to the ground, it 12 become dust. Consider this well. I have warned you I shall 13 keep my word. Your wallet is old, don't fill it 14 its power." The beggar was almost too overjoyed to breathe. He 15 felt the ground below his feet. A stream of coins were poured 16 it. The wallet soon became rather heavy.
"Is that 17 ?" "Not yet," "Isn't it 18 ?" "Never fear." "Consider, you are a millionaire." "Just a little more, just 19 a handful," But at that moment the wallet broke, the gold coins 20 dust and Fortune disappeared. The beggar had nothing but his empty wallet and remained as poor as before.
